How do I mail myself a package before our trip?

[mlbretscher]

I am sooooo excited we leave for our first WDW in just 15 days. I have bought little gifts for our kids (DS 9, DD's 7 & 3) that I have wrapped and plan to put out for them to find each morning of our trip. I was thinking I should just put these gifts in a box and mail to our Disney resort (POR) as I would hate to have to open them (and thus riun the surprise) at the airport if our bags were chosen to be searched (I had a friend that learned what she was getting for Christmas last year when her mothers suitcase was searched and then had to open the present inside). Anyway, does anyone know when I should send it (we arrive on Friday 9/10/04) and what address I should mail it to (we are staying at POR)? I think I read that I should add the words, "Arriving On 9/10/04" on the outside of the package, but is there any other words of wisdom anyone can offer who has done this before?

POR's address is:
1251 Dixie Drive
PO Box 10000
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

I would put your last name & check-in date on the outside of the package.

We sent Christmas presents down, and I think I sent them two weeks ahead of time since it was December; I also called to confirm the resort had received them. A UPS store or post office could probably fill you on how much time to allow.

The address for your resort is one your confirmation letter or just look on the offical Disney website. We did include the line about arriving on ..... as well as confirmation number. The boxes were in our room when we checked in!
